SEATTLE - Police early Tuesday shot and killed a man suspected of gunning down four police officers, a sheriff's spokesman said, a day after the man eluded police who had spent hours trying to coax him out of a house.

Maurice Clemmons was shot to death in a working-class Seattle neighborhood after police tracked him down using possible hiding spots supplied by Pierce County investigators, said Ed Troyer, a spokesman for the county sheriff.

Police had surrounded a house in Seattle late Sunday following a tip Clemmons had been dropped off there. After an all-night siege, a special weapons and tactics police team entered the home Monday morning and found it empty. But police said Clemmons had been there.

So, with the left and right so soft on crime and the economy requireing we release more and more of them into society, what should we do?

Are there people whom we just need to dispose of when we have the chance. He was originally sentenced to 107 years, reduced to 47, then parolled, violated that parole, returned to prison and then released again.

The judges in Washington had access to all this info and still cut him loose. </span>

I believe that the soft stand against criminals by our politicians and courts are one reason there are so many gun shows going on around the country these days.

Gosh, when I saw the title of this thread I thought for sure it was referring the sudden end of another killing spree by an abortion doctor but at least, there was the same justice in the end.

Huckabee is a GB wannabe and hopefully this will keep him out of the WH. He is very smart and smooth but is a believer in taxes and big government and I would hate to see him on the Republican ticket.
